Outputs
Main/Zone/Booth
All analog outputs come from the same "Main Mix" signal.
Main

Booth
and
Zone
Outputs each have their own
trol.
The
output is from unbalanced RCA and balanced
Main
XLR jacks with pin 2 "hot" per AES standards (XLR preferred*).
If the Main output feeds a mono PA system, engage the
switch on the rear of the MP26. If the Main output is able to
clip the input to the PA system when the front panel
control is at maximum, reduce the maximum output level using
the rear panel

control.
The

ring-sleeve) jacks. Booth and Zone outputs include auto-mono on
both left and right connections. Plug in only one side to receive a
mono signal. Plug into both jacks to receive a stereo signal.
*Rane recommends balanced wiring for the strongest signal
and rejection of hum and noise. If your cable to the amp rack
is less than 10 feet (3 meters), you can usually get away with an
unbalanced cable with RCA or ¼˝ TS (tip-sleeve) plugs. If it's
longer than that, use balanced XLR and/or TRS cables. See the
RaneNote "Sound System Interconnection" included with this
manual or at rane.com for details on cable wiring. See "Sound
System Interconnection" on page 19.
Record Outputs
Record outputs are a direct feed from the main mix. There are
no level controls between the mix and these outputs. The main
mix is available in three different formats for recording: unbal-
anced analog RCA, 24-bit 48 kHz S/PDIF, and USB (on record
channel six).
